  Let Out the Djinn

  Jane Aldous

  • 0

  There is a double meaning in the title to this debut collection from Jane Aldous – Jinn was her family nickname, and writing poetry feels like letting out her wild, mischievous spirit.
  
  For Jane, poetry is all about listening, and she invites us to listen to the imagined worlds of hunter-gatherers, star-gazers, mythical beings, wild creatures, the living and the dead, and the real world of a gay woman growing up in the 70s.

  The Nightfields

  Joanna Klink

  • 0

  A new collection from a poet who has made "a body of work at once utterly lucid and breathtakingly urgent" (Louise Glück).Joanna Klink's fifth book begins with personal poems of loss--a tree ripped out by a windstorm, a friendship broken off after decades, the nearing death of parents. Other poems take on the cost of not loving fully, or are written from disbelief at the accumulation of losses and at the mercilessness of having, as one ages, to rule things out. There are elegies for friends, and a group of devotional poems. The Nightfields closes with "Night Sky," thirty metaphysical poems inspired by the artist James Turrell's Roden Crater, an extinct volcano in Arizona that Turrell has been transforming into an open-air observatory for the perception of time. The sequence unfolds as a series of revelations that begin in psychic fear and move gradually toward a sense of infinitude and connection.

  Chaucer’s greatest work, written towards the end of the fourteenth century, paints a brilliant picture of medieval life, society, and values. The stories range from the romantic, courtly idealism of The Knight’s Tale to the joyous bawdy of the Miller’s; all are told with a freshness and vigour in this modern verse translation that make them a delight to hear.

  No Room On My Canvas Part 1

  With so much going on in the world on a daily basis, a passionate artist has enough inventory of ideas to pour out. Yet a canvas doesn't have the capacity to hold all that needs to be expressed in a day. They say a picture is worth a thousand words, so I dedicate myself to creating thousands of words on canvases/pages to make render; meaningful art to share with the public.
